AI Inspections at the Edge Increase Railroad Safety
Duos Technologies automates 360-degree, real-time inspections of fast-moving trains with AI at the edge for safety and savings.
Business Needs
Global demand for passenger and freight trains is expected to more than double by 2050 due to railroads’ low carbon emissions. Duos Technologies developed an automated Railcar Inspection Portal (rip®) with a trackside edge data center that uses AI image analysis to inspect trains in real time, unleash railroad growth and improve safety.
Business Results
- 8x increase in inspection accuracy by using AI at the edge for automated inspections rather than manual processes.
- 120x performance boost using rip® inspections.
- Improves railroad safety and reduces costs.
- Automates server updates and maintenance processes so that server repairs take just hours not days.
To meet the growing need for efficient freight and passenger train operations, railroads are seeking modernization solutions. Recognizing this demand, Duos Technologies developed an innovative AI-driven approach to inspect trains in real time, even at full speed. Recently awarded a patent for this proprietary artificial intelligence (AI) technology, Duos’ high-performance offerings, developed with input from rail industry experts, are rapidly becoming the standard for automated inspection in railroads, both in North America and beyond. This advancement not only enhances safety for the public and railroad workers, who work tirelessly to inspect trains in all weather conditions, but also represents a significant step forward in the industry’s journey toward sustainability.
Duos partnered with Dell Technologies and developed the Railcar Inspection Portal (rip®) powered by AI.
“We run predictive AI analytics on Dell PowerEdge servers because they offer the specialized I/O, GPUs, RAM, and reliability we need at the edge and in our core data center.”
